In Bezalel Smotrich's tapes, which were exposed this evening on Kan 11 by reporter Michael Shemesh, the chairman of religious Zionism is heard saying what he really thinks about the man who heads the Likud and the right-wing bloc, Binyamin Netanyahu.
In the recorded conversation, which deals with Likud's attempt to form a government with Ra'am while exerting pressure on Smotrich, while the right-wing PSL bloc is pushing the Arab faction outward, the chairman of religious Zionism calls Netanyahu a "liar" and a "trouble".

"If I wanted to take two mandates from Bibi, I would have to go in with his mother," Smotrich said in the recording.
"He's a liar son of a liar. He didn't want to go with Ream?
He wanted his father.
I was the only one who stood up to Peretz, I would have earned two mandates.
It is important for me to establish consciousness that the right is taboo.
I seem to straighten the line, I don't lie when I'm interviewed.
I say that I don't deal with what was unimportant."

"Bibi, a liar son of a liar, wanted to go with Ram in his father's father!" "
Netanyahu is trouble, but you have to choose between trouble and trouble" "In the

Smutritz added: "A large part has been done, classes, etc., but the Jews will do it, not the Islamic movement. I take responsibility for Arab society, not Ra'am and not the Joint List.
We the Jews - it's a difference between heaven and earth.
We will transfer money to the authorities in the first second."
In the conversation, Smotrich explained why Netanyahu was willing to let Prime Minister be with him in the government: "Even if he was willing to give a little less, it doesn't make a difference once he agreed to form a government with them, which in the end, at the end, he depends on them.
So what does it matter?" he said.
According to Smotrich, Netanyahu, whom he claims he does not admire, will soon disappear from the political map.
"Netanyahu will not stay here forever," he explained, "Physics and biology will do their thing. Someday he will be convicted in court, I know what, a little patience in life. There is no doubt that Netanyahu is trouble, okay? But now choose between trouble and trouble. You have decided that Netanyahu is the event and I am Will I sell everything?".
Bezalel Smotrich's response: "Religious Zionist Chairman Bezalel Smotrich and former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu work in full and close cooperation and together in the past year have successfully led the fight to overthrow the evil Lapid-Bennett government with the Muslim Brotherhood.
It is not surprising that there are those who choose at this time to try to drive a wedge into the national camp out of pressure and panic, according to all the polls, the right is returning to power.
It will not help them, we will continue to work together in full cooperation until victory and the establishment of a national, Zionist and Jewish government."
